Today I’m fishing for California halibut in SoCal and found a sandy bottom honey hole that produced 5 halibut in just 1 hour. Exploring new fishing spots on my Hovsco GTRS Ultra e-bike made covering ground fast and easy, and it paid off BIG time.
In this video, I break down how I find productive sandy bottom areas for Southern California halibut fishing, the exact drop shot setup I use, and how using an e-bike for fishing lets me explore multiple spots efficiently.
If you’re trying to catch more California halibut from shore, this is the kind of area and setup you want to look for.
